We Built This City




So last weekend i took a little trip to Long Lake, NY to my families Lake House. One of the nights we were there we went out to dinner at the local bar, The Owl's Nest. As we were sitting there waiting for our food to arrive, a song came on the radio that sounded oddly familiar.... "We Built This City" by Starship.
If you've never heard this song you need to right away and if you havve heard this song you'd agree with me by saying that it definitely gives ya quite the chuckle! lol
As it registered to me what song it was, I looked to my mother and said, "is this song really on right now? am i hearing this correctly??!!" she answered and said, "yes you are! Isn't this we built this city on rock and roll??"
I started laughing out loud! How an obscure song like this would come on in a small town resturant out in the middle of nowhere i don't know! O man!
Today i found the video to put up on the blog.... Wow it got even better! Such a creepy, weird video but kinda great at the same time. There's this one part in the video where the lead singer and the rest of the band are standing infront of the Lincoln Monument just singing the song to the lincoln statue. All of a sudden the statue comes to life and yes you guessed right, Honest Abe himself starts singing along. I literally wet my pants when it happened!
Please watch this, if it doesn't make you laugh you're crazy!!
